I am elated that we’re already having a Sisters With Voices moment on this blog. SWV (Cheryl “Coko” Gamble, Tamara “Taj” Johnson and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons) are one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. As of 2015, they’ve sold 25 million records, and yet I feel like they’re often overshadowed by their peers.

Hi strangers, I’m making my return to Tumblr in the form of a new music blog dedicated to 90s hip-hop and R&B, deconstructing one song at a time. Hope you dig it! Let me know if you want to see any specific songs featured in a future post. LYLAS!
